2. What is a map? Maps are a visual representation of a much larger land. Maps do not show the actual size of what they are trying to show. Imagine a map that was the actual show the United States! That would not be helpful. So, things are scaled down to fit on a much useful size page.

3. Types of maps Maps can show you a lot: Locations of countries/states/regions Population of a type of animal Where to find parks, restaurants, etc. Highways Weather patterns Elevation
